@Mona Carriedo - Hi Mona! I'm 65 in Sept and I'm trying to get a handle on this curly girl thing. I'm probably more of a wavy but the underneath side of my hair might have some 3A going on. My hair was very curly as a child and thru high school. I got perms in college and 20's to help me control my hair better. I think my hair changed a lot from pregnancies and anesthesia. Then keeping it shorter and straightening it all thru my 40's & 50's for work Now I just want my old hair back! lol I've been growing it out for almost 2 years so the length is down a good ways past my shoulders and it is quite thick and coarse. I have a lot of wave. My husband loves it compared to my short styles of so many years. I'm just starting my journey and trying not to spend an arm and a leg on too many products. But I really don't know what I'm doing at this point! lol

So I really appreciate hearing that someone is either protein heavy or if a product tries to pull a fast one (like the mineral oil to patroleum in this video).

Ok , I was literally laughing out loud during this video! But these product reviews are what I need right now. I’m a new curly girl and still learning.

The define and shine custard I use from Cantu is never that liquidy and I like to use it in my winter routine because it has less hold. I use the Stay Glue Gel in the summer because it's great for the hot humid air we get here down in Houston, Texas.

I am SO glad you did this video. I have fallen in love with Cantu. Everyone talks about Sheamoisture and their mosques are amazing but I haven't found other products from them that work for me. Then I tried Cantu and now my bathroom looks like a Cantu sponsor video. If you try more stuff from them I recommend trying their gel with honey. It's so nice. It's not the usual texture. It's a bit between a gelee and custard but is still stronger hold gel. Also I have tried a lot of the kids line and they work fantastic in my hair. :) Also, I have a gel recommendation: Got2B Ultra Strength(the one in the black tube). It's SO good. I can't even scrunch out the crunch. In Houston humidity it's a life saver!

I think it depends on which products you use! No brand has only good products. I have tried Cantu and my results were meh. I dont have anything against them I just have other brands i enjoy more! I really like Shea Moisture though.

Awesome video! I’ll be buying some of these products soon! Thank you for making this video! Also- Dove came out with a complete curly hair product line . Maybe a review? It’s available at Walmart

Thank you so much for this video! I’m trying to learn more about how different products help curly hair.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this review! It just so happens that I bought the EXACT SAME PRODUCTS the weekend before your video aired and just watched a week later. Too bad I waited and struggled the whole week trying to make them work on my 3C/4C hair. Your video would have saved me a whole lot of time! The souffle is just plain weird and after several days of looking like I had Jello-O in my hair for about an hour every day, I caved and ended up using the Cantu Moisture Retention Styling Gel as my final styling product. The results were curls that last but they are on the crunchy side. I wanted soft touchable curls, but I'll settle for a little crunch over goop. I have't given up on the souffle and think maybe as it gets warmer it will soften more into a custard. In any event thanks so much for reviewing affordable, accessible products honestly and in such a fun way. You are truly an inspiration! Keep it up Mel!

Thank you so much for your drug store product reviews... they've really helped me stay in my budget and still get great results. THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR SEESTER :)

Thank you for these videos! I am completely lost trying to do my daughter’s curly hair and your videos are incredibly helpful!

Stumbling upon your channel this morning = the first day of the rest of my life. Will I actually have hair that I am proud of now? Will I be able to find products that actually work on my frizzy fine hair?? Stay tuned!! 🥰

Your vibe is so amazing 😂❤️

Hey, Mell! Can you do a video on fine curly/wavy hair? Us wavies would appreciate it so much ✨🌈

Isabel R I totally agree! I have fine wavy/curly hair. I tried the Shea Moisture but my hair hated it. I ended up returning it. Have you found any great products. I'm in Canada.

@@MariaAyeDee I'm not sure Maria about Shoppers per say, but here in Victoria British Columbia i can take products I've tried once to London Drugs. You could always call them to find out their policy. Hope this helps.

Cantu's Curl Activator Leave-In has been excellent for getting more curl in my hair. I used to be 3B, but certain *ahem* controversial curly company products moved it to 3A, and in some places 2C. I've been wanting to try the hair glue, because I live in a humid climate, but I can't find it locally.

Dope video! Love both of these brands 🥰

One of the videos I have been waiting for!!! They did about as well as I thought they would. Good to know they are heavier products (thought that was just me). Cantu held up better with the moisture!!! I've used both, but lately use Cantu! I might use treatments and masks from Shea and style products from Cantu :) Shea did hold up better on Day 4, probably the better hold Thank you as always for the epically awesome video! Looking forward to more product battles! BEST ENDING EVER!!!

I don’t even have curly hair but you’re so entertaining ! 😂

YESSSS TEXTURE TUESDAY!!!!! I loved the ending !!!! You singing was everything !!! Even my seester started to sing 😂😂😂.

LOL I’m working on getting a record label, if you know anyone just send them that clip 🤪🤪

Everytime I watch any of your videos, it only takes me a couple of minutes to think that you are AWESOME. You have helped me achieve better curls, to love my hair, to invest time and what little money I can. I started whatching your videos back in february 2020 while looking for ways to “straighten curly hair” lol. Your personality, recommendations and how you explain everything grabbed my and changed me. I would do buns, pony tail or half-up ALL THE TIME. NOW, I rarely tie my hair up. I do get frizz but still see a lot of definition, this was never the case before.. you are a GREAT INFLUENCER, please keep using this power responsibly, never change unless it is for the better (I don’t think there is anything to change).....I am rambling now LOL. Simply, thank you for this video, you did your homework, now I feel like I can choose better based on your suggestions.. Love you, stay safe.

I’d love to see you do a review on Melanin. There are 3 products offered, an oil, leave in conditioner and a curl cream. Thank you and awesome video as always!🙌🏽🥰
